The plane ride into Las Vegas was almost empty - just 55 people on a Southwest jet that holds 140. Maybe that is why they are almost giving away hotel rooms in town these days.

I got a great deal on my room here at The Trump, about 80% off standard prices. The location kinda sucks, as I am sure they anticipated more development in the surrounding areas. There are empty lots next door and no building activity.

The hotel however, is awesome except for one thing: A Facility Charge of $15 per day. Nobody mentioned this when making reservations and you cannot decline the charge at the front desk even though you need to initial the sign-in card accepting the fee.

Bogus.

For my extra $15 I get two 12-oz bottles of water and two 0.5-oz bags of coffee that I may or may not use. Oh, and a newspaper. Wow.

I reserved my room through Hotels.com and I WILL leave a review!
